Re: Lower End AS/400s

["James W. Kilgore" <email@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Joe,

Don't you just love it when a newbie joins the list and shoots off their
mouth?! :)

The way I look at computer solutions, or the solution de jour, is like
the high school slut.  Just because something is popular does not
translate into something of quality.

As a 25+ year professional, I support quality, and IMHO, the
AS/400-iSeries is as good as it gets.  My clients, the REAL survivors of
ANY economy, also seek quality.  The acquisition of quality is WHY they
are the survivors!

As a personal note to Konrad: This time of year is a time of peace.

There are many participants on this list that would enjoy a truly lucid,
logical, honest discussion of the merits of any technical, economical
business solution that benefits both your career and those that employ
you.

This list is NOT a proving ground, but a mutual benefit society and free
exchange of ideas.  No judges: what works works.

Best regards to all, and a happy holiday season to you and those that
you hold near and dear.

J Kilgore
